What it is

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used oils in the United States. The oil is typically refined, bleached, and deodorized before use in food products.

Why it's used

Soybean oil is a versatile ingredient used as a cooking oil and as a component in many processed foods. It functions as a fat or oil, adding richness and mouthfeel. It is commonly found in baked goods, salad dressings, margarine, and fried foods.

Health notes

Soybean oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, including omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated soybean oil and established an acceptable daily intake. While generally considered safe, some research has explored the potential health effects of high consumption of omega-6 fatty acids relative to omega-3s, though evidence is mixed and intake from typical diets is usually considered acceptable.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soybeans, which are one of the FDA's major allergens. Therefore, it is considered a major allergen.
